Eventually, they arrived at a room and hurried inside with the door locked behind them.

“We did it, we’re—” Stanley started. “—Too late?!” He exclaimed upon seeing that Melody somehow beat them to the room. It looked like the other room from before, but more prominent.

“Ah, just in time.” Melody mocked. “I’m just about to create another world in place of this one, and I’ll be its new ruler!” Melody motioned to show the group she had already typed the message on the computer screen. “All I have to do is push the button to confirm it.” Her hand slowly reached over for the send button.

“No!” Mimi shot out a laser blast to hit Melody, pushing her back and knocking her against the wall, causing the surrounding walls to crumble and make holes. “Now’s your chance!” Mimi cried. “Hilary, change the message and replace it with your wish!”

Hilary hesitated. “But what about—?”

“Don’t worry about her.” Mimi interrupted. “I’ll handle this, go! Hurry!”

“Ok. On it!” Hilary yelled out. She rushed over to the control panel in the other room, removed the message, and tried to type the new one as fast as she could.

“Why you— you’ll pay for that!” Mimi heard Melody roar.

Melody got up from her feet and charged after Mimi. She punched her in the air, causing Mimi to hit through the ceiling and having the room break apart around them. Melody jumped up to follow her as they partook in a brawl.

Melody kicked Mimi in the stomach, pushing her back, then shot out some lasers to attack her from afar. Mimi regained her composure and, noticing the laser, tried to push back Melody herself and fire a laser as well.

As the light and darkness moved back and forth between one another, Mimi got weak as her legs shook, and her body quivered. Melody appeared to be leading in powers as the spark slowly leaned toward Mimi in the face.

From down below, while Hilary tried to write the message at a breakneck pace, Stanley and Jordan watched the whole spectacle with bated breath. Stanley bit his fingernails while Jordan jumped up and down with his hands close to his mouth.

“What should we do?” Stanley turned to Jordan and asked.

“What can we do?” Jordan asked.

After the two pondered about it, Stanley thought up an idea. “Wishes can give strength, depending on what wish it is, right?”

“What are you saying?”.

“Well, Melody made more than one wish, so...”

“No, don’t bring that up! Do you know the rules and consequences for...?”

“Yeah, but I have an idea.” Stanley pulled out his phone. “Remember the wish I made not too long ago?”

Jordan nodded. “What are you trying to say? What do you have in mind?”

“I don’t think this counts, but I want you to trust me on this.” Stanley extended his arm. “Let’s send Mimi some support and strength.”

Jordan looked down at his hand, feeling puzzled. “But if it doesn’t count, then what will happen to you?”

“If it’s a sacrifice, I don’t care. If we can put a stop to all of this, then I think it’ll be worth it. We got to take the risk.”

The speech made Jordan’s eyes widen in shock. He then smiled and took Stanley’s hand to shake. “Yeah, let’s do this.”
